oh look. charlie brown missed the football. Oh hey, that kids pretending to be a psychiatric worker and that ones got a blanky. Oh sweet that dogs a ww2 pilot* and no ones saying anything. how droll. oh hey, no one likes charlie brown, and that little girls a lesbian. brilliant. I'm even going to the Shultz museum to see if they've hidden the funny there, or let me in on the secret.

I dunno, I appreciate Peanuts. It never really was about knee-slap laughs. I could relate to the shit that Charlie Brown went through. And really, the Christmas special, (minus the God stuff) was a pretty stiff indictment of the commercialism around Xmas. Too bad it went over most everyone's head.

But the king of comics will always be The Far Side. Mr. Larson is a genius.
